ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT

 It 

You may feel that your new oven cooks differently
than the one it replaced. 
We recommend that you
use your new oven for a few weeks to become more
familiar with it, following the times given in your

recipes as a guide.

If you think your new oven is too hot or too cold,
you can adjust the thermostat yourself.  
If you think
it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler. If
you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to make

it hotter.

 do not recommend the use of inexpensive

thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores,
to check the temperature setting of your new oven.
These thermometers may vary 

 degrees.

To Adjust the Thermostat:

1. Press the BAKE pad.

BAKE2. 

Select an oven temperature between 

and 

3. Immediately, before the BAKE indicator stops

flashing, press and hold the BAKE pad for about
4 seconds. The display will change to the oven
adjustment display.

4. The oven temperature can be adjusted up to

 

 hotter or (–) 

 cooler. Use the

INCREASE or DECREASE pads to select the
desired change in the display.

5. After you have made the adjustment,

CLEAR

press the CLEAR/OFF pad to 

 back

to the time of day display. Use your oven
as you would normally.

NOTE:  This adjustment will not affect the Broil or
Clean temperatures. It will be remembered when
power is removed.
